to Ballet BC, dancer Michael Garcia will bring their passion for dancing back home this Friday, June 9, when TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND presents the Vancouver-based company at the Winspear Opera House.
And for Garcia, it is a full circle moment. Back in the day, when they were a Booker T. Washington dance student, the Winspear was THE place to perform (before Moody Performance Hall became a dance destination).
Now, Garcia, 24, gets to dance on that coveted Winspear stage. “To feel the support from my best friends and family and mentors in the audience, to get everyone to come under one roof will be exciting,” Garcia said. “But another thing is I get to do it with my best friend, who is also from Dallas, and, as soon as we found out this was happening, it really got us through the year.” Their friend is also a Booker T.
